6 boiled eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbs white vinegar
1 tsp mustard powder
Bunch of chives
1 red capsicum
Salt and pepper

Method:

• Wash hands.
• Peel the eggs and use a sharp knife to cut them cleanly in half.
• Carefully remove the yolks from the eggs and put them in a bowl.  Put the whites on a tray, being careful not to break them.
• Use a fork to mash the yolks.  For small kids, it might be easier to press the yolks through a sieve using a ladel or big spoon. 
• Add the mayonnaise, vinegar and mustard powder to the yolks and combine them well until they are creamy.  Season with salt and pepper.
• Use two teaspoons to scoop small amounts of the yolk back into the whites.  Smooth off the surface.
• Use scissors to cut the chives into 3cm long lengths.  Poke these into the yolk so that they make hedgehog spines and put a tiny piece as the nose.
• Dice the capsicum into small squares and use these as eyes.
• Arrange the hedgehogs on a plate of lettuce.

TIP: Very fresh eggs don’t peel very well so it is better to use ones that are a few weeks old but still in date.  For fussy eaters, just mix butter or mayonnaise into the yolks with a touch of salt.  Egg yolks combined with butter and curry powder are also delicious.
